We were discussing euphemisms, like the ever-popular Utahan "Oh my heck," and I was telling him about growing up in a Catholic neighborhood where the common exclamation was "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" because *that* wasn't swearing. And he said, 'Well sure. Silver Spring is the Brooklyn of Montgomery County."
And before I could even smack him or upbraid him or anything, I realized that he's right. Completely right.

It is true only in the sense that every place you go has someone who went to High School with Leta just as every movie you see has a character from Brooklyn in it.
Who were you talking to, Leta?
I think that's perfect! Right down to the changing demographics over the last generation or so!
You gotta problem with that??
It makes one wonder whether a Silver Spring cow says "Fuckin' Moo."
Give me a call - while on random stranger's livejournal I bumped into a person who knows you from VLOC ... only I have no idea who he/she is!
Yeah, who were you talking to? One of my best aperçus and no attribution?!
